Hi all,
In the wiki page for \its
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/its
we see the example
\startitemize
[5, % open circles
packed] % no blank lines between items (counteracts
\setupwhitespace[big])
[width=6em, % width of area in which bullets/numbers/scales are placed
distance=2em, % distance between last scale point and item
items=4] % number of points in scale
% First we print a range key
\ran{yes \hss no} % \hss produces an infinitely stretchable (and
squashable) space
\its I think Lord Peter Wimsey is the bee's knees.
\its I think Bunter is the caterpillar's waistcoat.
\stopitemize
When I run that with the context in TL 2025, I get the output as shown in
the wiki page.
However, both TL26 and standalone give me different output, in which "I" is
overlaid on "think" (or vice versa).
No doubt someone familiar with the code will immediately see the problem.
Unfortunately, that isn't me. :-)
Unfortunately it took longer than expected but I found the problem.
On line 1430 in strc-itm.mklx there is a % missing the end of the
defininition for \strc_itemgroups_start_symbol, as a result the command
took everything until the next space as argument.
-\tolerant\protected\def\strc_itemgroups_start_symbol[#reference]#:#text
+\tolerant\protected\def\strc_itemgroups_start_symbol[#reference]#:#text%
{\def\strc_itemgroups_extra_symbol{#text}%
\c_strc_itemgroups_symbol\conditionaltrue
\startitemgroupitem[#reference]%
\dotagsetitem\s!symbol}
